Mr. Varner worked with Rural Development through the years providing appraisal services to us. He was one of the most knowledgeable, conscientious, and honest appraisers out there. He had a gentle spirit about him, and was always very pleasant to work with. I know he will be missed by many.

I worked with Clint from the mid seventies until he retired from SUPSHIPNN. I always admired his friendly and quiet manner. He was always ready to lend a helping hand or to offer some sage advice. I was sad to hear of his passing. I offer my heartfelt sympathies

Clint was one of my heros. I felt like he had been my friend for life although it was a much shorter period. He was truly a man of wisdom and I will miss his wise counsel and positive attitude. Will be looking for him in the hereafter!

Clint was the first person I met when I went to Faith Lutheran (meeting at Sturtevant). His warm greeting and smiling face made me feel very welcome. It was a joy to later join Ebenezer and see Clint again. I so loved our supper club dinners with June and Clint. He will be greatly missed.
